Parma combines the measured scale of an Emilian city with an influential musical and culinary tradition in a way that reflects its position on the Parma River between the Apennines and the Po plain. The Romanesque Cathedral and adjoining octagonal Baptistery, faced in pink Verona marble, define Piazza Duomo; inside, Correggio’s Assumption fresco fills the cathedral dome. The Teatro Regio, opened in 1829, remains an important opera house, while Parmigiano Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma tie the city closely to the food traditions of its surrounding province.
